| Abstract: ABA has been demonstrated as an effective intervention for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities for decades. Nonetheless, neurodiversity activists continue to raise concerns over the use of ABA (e.g., Latimer, 2019, Sequenzia, 2016). This panel will discuss approaches for addressing raised concerns, the need to continuously analyze our own research for ways to improve our practices, and the importance of innovative research in the field. |
